    Question What are you using for Head Cement


    I was curious what everyone is using for head cement. I have been using Sally Hansens Hard as nails and the built in brush, but just wanted to see what others are using. any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Depends on what your doing with it. I just use my home made stuff (Lacquer and thinner) for the drop in the finish that is thinned well so it soaks in and can't be felt. If you clear coating over eyes then I too use Sally's. If your talking about a thread neck jig then I am probably using my home made Flexament.

    I feel pretty sure all are i the sticky post above and if not all have been put in post on this board so a simple search will tell if you want these.

    I like Sally Hanson's Hard as Nails but have been reading on another board that I belong to a Crystal Radio board not fishing. They are starting to use a cement for coils that is made up of Acetone and styrofoam peanuts. I will give this a try and report back as this is to about as good as super glue and a little more flexible They claim a little goes along way. We shall see.
